How to mail merge via Mail.app?

I would link to run a mail merge via Numbers (or Excel) through Mail.app just like I can to print media with Pages.
Any ideas?

I have searched high and low for the answer and it appears the mac is seriously missing this basic tool that nearly all businesses need nowdays. It's a real shame. Brand new macbook pro and macbook air for our sales people and whatnot and who would have thought we'd have to resort back to our old windows tools on the mac (microsoft office and outlook on OSX). If we'd have known there was a major hole in the basic tools we wouldnt have moved over.
Anyway, that was a bit "rantish" but if I can be more constructive I've had suggestions to pay someone to write applescript and automator code for me, purchase office and outlook for mac and that's about it. I can't find any custom apps (except for MaxBulk Mailer and RoBoPostman) but they're both very contained though I may have to give them a go soon if I can find no other solution. (EDIT: You can also use online tools like sendgrid and the like but I want my own on machine system where I don't pay per month etc)
Basically people are saying numbers and pages haven't been updated much at all in the last 3 years so that's why this problem has been persistent for so long. Others claim it's not a problem (they must use all their contact data in the address book rather than databases and/or spreadsheets). It is a real problem though (I'm ranting again sorry! )
IF you find a solution I'd LOVE to hear it. Our marketing efforts are suffering due to this.

Hi
have a look at this
You can use Java/ABAP proxies to do this job for you..
Java Proxy >> will read the mail(with the attachments) with the help of Java APIs and send the message into XI ABAP Proxy >> for this you will have to first convert the attachment into a message and then you can proceed in the regular fashion.
Not all adapters can process attachments, I'm not sure why you are having trouble with using module processor in the mail adapter. Just check if the service pack that you are using supports this feature.
If you are on WAS 6.10 and above you can achieve this and there is an excellent weblog by Thomas Jung on this topic at
/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/09/receiving-e-mail-and-processing-it-with-abap--version-610-and-higher
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/6d967fbc-0a01-0010-4fb4-91c6d38c5816
reading Pdf Through mail easly done with Java Proxy, which will read the mail(with the attachments) with Java APIs and send the message into XI and then map with the Target ABAP proxy structure .
Thanks

I have two cell phone, different numbers. Each has their own apple id. How can i merge them so apps on one show on the other but keep their emails addresses separate on their own phone?

Have two cell phones, different numbers. Each has their own apple id. How can I merge them so apps purchased on one phone show on the other. But.as each has their own email address, I want to keep these email addresses separate on their own phone? Thanks.

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

HT2500 how do e mail merge from mail

How can i do e mail merge from my mac

Something is not quite right here. A MacBook Air does not run any version of IOS, and would you per chance be using OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite instead?
In Excel, export your Christmas addresses as a comma separated value (CSV) file.
In OS X Contacts, make a new contact group — let's call it Christmas 2014. Click on this group to make it current. Then from Contacts > File > Import, select your CSV file from the import file chooser. Your Christmas list of contacts are now generated within the new contact group: Christmas 2014. This may be an imperfect process, and may require you to clean up some of these contacts.
In Contacts > File > Print, you can pick your Avery address label sheet stock number, pick the Christmas 2014 distribution, sort these contacts alphabetically, and print up your labels. Your labels will appear in the large display box in this print dialog. I am excluding this in the screen capture.

How do I merge my Mail data from two Macs into one?

One is Lion and the other is Mountain Lion, both 27" iMacs. I have saved the Mail data from the Lion one and will reformat its HDD for a clean install of Mountain Lion. Then I plan to import a (CCC) clone of my newer iMac. I need to merge the mail because some mail items are missing on the clone that existed on the erased iMac.

Copy or move the song files from one account to a shared location and then drag them into the open iTunes window when logged into the other account.

Email Mail Merge using mail

I run a small business and have 3,000 clients on my email database and i am having issues in sending large mail shots using mail. Before i changed to a mac i used to be able to use an excel database with outlook which i could send a mass email mail shot with a few clicks and it send each client an individual email.
I can't seem to get this to work using mail so i have to send 1 email with 20 or so applicants per email(as my broadband supplier limits me to 25 applicants per email) which is very time consuming and also not as profesional.
Is there a way round this at all or a program which i can run with mail?
Thanks in advance
Andy

I've been wrestling with the same problem. I googled a number of related keywords, and found several programs that will handle "mail-merge" tasks. I downloaded two demos. The first is SerialMailer, and it can be found at http://www.falkon-ware.com/SerialMailer/ I gave it one trial and it appears easy to use and adequate to the limited tasks for which I need it. You can import e-mail addresses from Apple's Address Book, or a number of other formatted files. It costs $29.95. The other one I have only take a glance at. It is Max Bulk Mailer, and can be found at http://www.maxprog.com/site/software/internet-marketing/mass-bulk-emailersheetus.php
It looks to be more flexible and powerful and a bit more polished that SearialMailer, but it costs $49.90 for the standard version and $59.90 for the Pro version. The cheaper program looked like all I needed so I didn't test the more expensive one any further. My guess is that one of these (or another you might find with a google search) will take care of your mail merge needs quite handily, and for not much money.

How to send alias via mail

Hello all,
When sending an alias to a file or folder on our internal network to a colleague, the entire file and folder is sent off. All I want is the person on the other side to be able to get to the file or folder quickly. Oftentimes, files and folders are huge in size and I just can't find any way to make it work. Any ideas? Would it be possible for the recipient to see where the file is located?
It doesn't have to be via drag&drop, a clickable URL-like link would do as well. Thank you!

Hi Roger and V.K.,
Thank you for the swift answers.
Is there not an easier way of doing this?
I don't know of one.
The reason I am asking is that a colleague who is used to a Windows environment is quite frustrated with not being able to send such links.
When I drag a file from the server onto a (plaintext-only, another hurdle for the technically challenged), I get the following:
/Volumes/interalserver_1/employee23/Forms
afp://servername.local/Volumes/interal_server_1/employee23/Forms
skip /Volumes. it should be when connecting from another computer.
afp://servername.local/interal_server_1/employee23/Forms
doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Mail redirection via Mail policy / filter

Hi
I have configured a mail policy / filter to redirect email coming from a external source but the Exchange admin cannot see the email arrive at the mailbox..
1. I can telnet and smtp ping to the exchange server
2. There is already a route configured for these email server
3. The exchange server is present in the HAT list
4. When I go to Message Tracking , I get this error message ...
Message 11368 to xxxxxxxxx@XXXX received remote SMTP response '2.6.0 <80a1b0$b38@unknown domain> [InternalId=35171] Queued mail for delivery'.
What else do I need to do or is this the right way to redirect mail ?

Issue has been resolved.
1. Incoming Content Filters if (mail-from == "@ mydomain.com $") {alt-mailhost ("[10.0.2.188]");}
2.Turn this filter for Default police
3. Add Incoming Mail police where to specify e-mail addresses of senders VIP
4. Content Filters disable this policy

How to upload picture via facebook app but not resize picture

E-mail merge with Word and Outlook problem

I'm trying to do an e-mail merge with Office 2011: Word, Excel, and Outlook.
Before you start typing, I've already searched the web, searched the Apple forums, and posted to the Microsoft forum, with no success.
Anyway: I have outlook configured to send and receive mail from a single Gmail account.
Outlook works otherwise to send and receive mail.
Outlook is set, in both Mail and Outlook, to be the default e-mail program.
Everything seems to work fine until the final step, clicking the generate e-mail merge button that should send the mail merge to Outlook. The mail merge emails are supposed to appear in Outlook, but they don't.
If you have figured out how to do this, please let me know.
I would prefer to do this with Mail and Numbers, or Excel and Mail, but that functionality does not exist. I'm sure it would probably work if it did.
I have a standalone mail merge app (MaxBulk Mailer) but I'd prefer to use the database I already have, which is in Excel, rather than have to create two databases, one in Excel, and another in MaxBulk. MaxBulk has some other problems as well and is not a great solution.
Thanks.

Not sure if this is entirely the same issue but.... we just saw a very similar issue resolved here by my recommending that one of our mail merge-using faculty run the Outlook 2011 database rebuild utility (holding down option while starting Outlook 2011 for OSX). Mail Merging from Excel 2011 mailing lists to Outlook 2011 starting working like a charm after that.
The differences with our setup were that we were sending a mail merge via an Exchange Server, not GMail, and that this issue started after upgrading from 10.6 to 10.9 via the App Store. Mail Merging had been working fine in 10.6.
Worth a try? Guard your backups and good luck!

Word Mail Merge using Powershell

Hi all,
I'm working on a script that automates account creation and notification for our students. I've completed a significant chunk of the script and have it successfully creating AD accounts and e-mailing students their credentials to access our system from
a batch job that runs nightly. I want to add an additional part that will create a document using a Microsoft word template that is associated with a CSV file that the script will be populating each day it runs. The goal is to create a mail merged PDF that
I can give to our admissions folks that has all the pertinent information for students to login. They will put these documents in their admissions packets or hand them to new students so they can login to the student system. I think I'm almost there as
I can get word to create a PDF of the template. The only problem is I have no idea how to get it to execute the mail merge so that the pdf contains the actual data I need it to. Currently all I end up with is an export of the template itself in PDF
format.
I'm sure the problem with this is that I'm having trouble calling the .net functions for Word via powershell. Online I see various documents on how to do this with vb.net however Powershell instructions seem to not exist. I'm sure the actions are quite similar
but I need some help. Here is the section of the code I have currently:
$filename = "EmailTemplate1.dotx"
$filename2 = "EmailTemplateProc.pdf"
$word=new-object -com Word.Application
$doc=$word.Documents.Add($filename)
$word.Visible=$False
$word.ActiveDocument.Fields.Update()
$doc.WdMailMergeDestination.wdSendToNewDocument
$word.ActiveDocument
$Doc.saveas([ref] $filename2, [ref] 17)
$Doc.close()
$word.Quit()
I'm sure the problem lies somewhere at the $doc.WdMailMergeDestination and onward. Basically I want it to take the dotx file which already has the templated document with mail merged fields and save an executed mail merge as a PDF. Any insight
would be great.
Thanks in advance!

Not quite sure about that command line thing. I looked all through the support doc you posted and see nothing mentioning executing a mail merge via the command line. Is there something else i'm missing here? Can it be done with a macro?
Like I posted. As how to do a mail merge in the Word forum. You can run a macro from the command line or you can trigger the merge from a startup macro. The macros will reside in a template which will be specified on the command line
alone with the new document name and location.
You can create the macro in a minute with the macro recorder.

You need to supply a domain name ("@xxx.com"), which depends on the receiver's phone company. For example, for Verizon the format is <phonenumber>@vtext.com. For AT&T it's <phonenumber>@mms.att.net. I don't know what it would be for any other cell phone provider.
